LUST & WONDER

Bestselling memoirist and narrator Augusten Burroughs's seventh installment in his epic journey to find personal fulfillment ends on a happy note, following a long exploration of love and sex. Burroughs has lived this story, so his delivery perfectly matches the tone and pacing needed. Focusing on a series of failed relationships, Burroughs lets his voice rise in both tension and tenor as he analyzes the reasons, with help from analysis, that some relationships work and others are doomed by the personal quirks of both people. Specific in its examination of this one life, the book offers universal themes that touch everyone, and the resolution should give to hope to anyone who still yearns for the lust and wonder of love.
